Twilight War

06

The night in Corinth is always restless, as ships pass by under the St. Swan Bridge in the distance, and the lights on the patrol tower illuminate the sparkling lake of St. Swan.

Huangxuanjin lay on the bed with his eyes open, watching the lights of the patrol tower shine into the attic and then pass by.

He lay down for a while and sat up, propping his hands on the edge of the bed and lowering his head, not knowing what he was looking at or thinking about.

After a while, he jumped off the bed, stepped over Wisipel who was still asleep on the ground, tiptoed to the refrigerator, opened the door of the refrigerator, and took out several bags of snacks from it.

The ground was a bit cold at night, Huangxuan Jin stepped on the ground holding snacks and looked back at the sleeping Wisipel.

Vichypel's long silver hair spread out like the first snow falling.

Huangxuan Jin sat down cross-legged next to Wisipel, tearing open the aluminum bag of potato chips with the icon of the Corinthian factory printed on it.

He tossed the chips into his mouth and chewed.

He was only wearing a white vest shirt, which was a bit cool in the night. .

The St. Swan Lake at night is foggy, and the lights of the patrol tower shine into the fog.

His back was slightly arched, and the wind lifted his thin shirt.

After a while, he seemed to think that sitting was meaningless, and lay down on the ground next to Vichypel, still feeding himself potato chips one by one.

He remembered that at this time in the past, there would be wandering entertainers playing the violin solo by the St. Swan Lake.

I don't know who will give him money so late.

He didn't know much about the violin, so he couldn't tell what the sound of that person was like, but he still felt that the sound of the violin was a bit too sad.

It's sad to be sad.

Wisipel was still sleeping next to him, and Huang Xuanjin leaned on his chin with his hand and tilted his head to look at Wisipelle.

The profile of the man is beautiful, like snow piled up by mountains.

When the potato chips were finished, Huangxuan Jin raised his head and poured the broken potato chips from the aluminum bag into his mouth.Eyes are still looking at the man.

He remembers Black Widow asking him once how he made it through.

He told Black Widow that every time he couldn't hold on, he would think about the sunrise after the long polar night in the Northern Territory.

He knew he couldn't see it, but as long as he thought about the beauty of the sunrise after the extreme night, it seemed that he had a little more courage to live.

There is no need to own it, as long as you know that there is such a beautiful existence in this world, it is enough.

01

Huang Xuanjin opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed, tightly wrapped by the quilt. Wisipel was sitting on the chair next to his bed and reading a book. When he saw him wake up, he turned his head and asked him, "Wake up, wake up!" Do you want to eat?"

The teenager reacted for a while before he remembered that Visipel had completely occupied his house yesterday, "What time is it?"

"It's nine o'clock."

Huang Xuanjin thought for a while, turned over on the bed, "It's still early, I'll get up later."

Vichypel, "..."

"What time do you usually get up?" Wihipel asked.

"Well, it should be twelve o'clock. After breakfast, wait until three o'clock in the afternoon before going to bed. When you wake up depends on your mood. I usually go to bed at three o'clock at night. I always feel that I need sixteen hours of sleep a day, but it's very Can't get enough sleep."

"Then what do you do when you're working? Do you sleep while standing on duty?" Wisipel pinched Huangxuan Jin's side face buried in the pillow

"A joke, do you think the bed in Elivisa's bedroom is just a decoration?" Huang Xuanjin waved his hand, "You don't need to call me if the sky hasn't fallen, and you don't need to call me if the sky does."

Wihipel looked at the teenager lying on the bed for a while, and felt that there was nothing he could do, so he went into the kitchen.

After a while, Vichypel brought out a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs drenched in beautifully colored sauces from the kitchen. The aroma could be smelled a hundred meters away. The ratio of vinegar is quite good. Whether the sweet and sour pork ribs are good or not depends on the amount of sweet and sour. Too much sugar will make it sweet and greasy, and the umami taste will not be lifted if there is too little sugar.

Huang Xuanjin gritted his teeth, turned over and continued to sleep.

After a while, Vichypel brought out a plate of salted peanuts from the kitchen. The salted peanuts can only be regarded as an appetizer. Sweet and sour taste, no matter how much you eat, you will get tired of it. Salted peanuts are salty, and you can always taste the freshness of sweet and sour pork ribs when you eat it together.What's more, Vichypel fried the peanuts so that they were not burnt or raw, and the salt grains were evenly coated.

After a while, Vichypel brought out a plate of washed vegetables, cucumber strips and lettuce were neatly cut into yards.Vegetables are also used to relieve greasiness, and can only be eaten raw to get the freshness of vegetables.

After taking out the last dish, Vichypel tested the temperature of the sweet and sour pork ribs with his hands, then shook his head, "It's cold." Then he picked it up as if to throw it away.

Huang Xuanjin quickly rolled over from the bed, "Put it down!"

Wisper pushed Huangxuan Jin back to the bed, "Good boy, the sky hasn't fallen yet, keep sleeping."

"What are you going to do to my sweet and sour pork ribs!" "You don't want to eat it, so you have to throw it away."

"Who says I won't eat, you put it down for me, and I'll eat right away!"

There were three dishes, one sweet and sour pork ribs, one salted peanut and one vegetable platter. It was the last two dishes that really made Huangxuan Jin unable to refuse.Huangxuan Jin looked easy to feed, as if he could survive with just a little water, but it was even more difficult to raise him well.It looks like it can eat anything, but it actually has a sticky mouth.

What is a Hundred Treasures Banquet? Bear's paw and phoenix wings, top-quality venison, whale meat freshly shipped from Nanyang, and a table with hundreds of rare birds and beasts can be called a Hundred Treasures Banquet.This kind of Hundred Treasures Banquet was held three times on the Jinling Chongjiu Festival. Which of the rich and noble brothers in Jinling is not reserved on the surface but really wants to bring these hundred dishes home. Only Huangxuan Jin, the young lady of the Huangxuan family Young master, I'm not even in the mood to touch you.

If the Huangxuan family is willing, this kind of Hundred Treasures Banquet can be held three times a day, but Huangxuan Jin is not in the mood to eat it.The bear's paws are fatty, and bears lick their paws during hibernation, and the water enters the paws to make them fat. It needs to be served with winter bamboo shoots.The venison has excess yang, so it needs to be eaten with yin herbs.

The most difficult thing is the word "xiangyi". If it is well matched, three taels of rice wine paired with beggar's chicken is better than a hundred banquets.

Huangxuanjin had indeed lost weight in the past few years in the Vana Empire, and even the baby fat on his face had gone down. It wasn't that he didn't eat well, but it was just that he didn't have what he wanted.Except for the Huangxuanjia and Vichypel back then, no one knew that he would eat sweet and sour pork ribs with two taels of peanuts and one or two dishes.And no one knows how much sugar and vinegar he needs to eat sweet and sour pork ribs.

After Huangxuanjin finished eating, he put the bowl on the ground and stretched his waist, and found that Wisipel was looking at him with loving eyes, like a farmer watching his piglets eating, and then thinking that he can sell it after eating How much.

"Have you finished eating?"

Huang Xuanjin nodded.

Vihipper suddenly leaned over, pinched Huang Xuan Jin's side face, and rubbed Huang Xuan Jin's lips with his thumb, "Eat more."

Huangxuan Jin leaned back as if frightened, and then pushed Wisipel's hand away, "Please, what good will it do you if I get fat."

"If it's fatter, it'll be better to hold it in your arms." Vehipel said sadly, "Now I'm not as cute as before."

Huang Xuanjin: "..."

After washing the dishes, Wisper told Huangxuanjin that he was going out to buy some fruit. Huangxuanjin was lying on the ground looking at the gossip in the corner of the newspaper, without even raising his head, he gave a thank you.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Huang Xuanjin put down the newspaper and lay on his back on the ground.

He told Isabel yesterday that he was injured and wanted to stay in the Black Tower to recuperate for a few days. Isabel didn't say anything, but just glanced at him.

He rolled a few times on the ground and heard a knock on the door.

"The door is unlocked." Huang Xuanjin yelled directly while lying on the ground.

"Huangxuanjin, what kind of hooligan are you playing at home in broad daylight!" A loud roar came from the door, Huangxuanjin turned around and saw the head of the group covering Yilier's eyes and looking at him angrily.

And Yilier held a bunch of white carnations in his hands.

Huang Xuanjin looked down at himself, and then tugged at the white vest on his body, but he didn't feel that he was wearing less.

It's just a hole in the neckline.

He stood up helplessly and touched a pair of military trousers to put on, "Why are you here?"

"The queen said you were injured, and Yilier wanted to come and see you, otherwise you thought I would go all the way to see you, you bastard!" Mendul still looked at Huangxuanjin angrily.

Huang Xuanjin rubbed his hair and searched for his socks everywhere, "Put the flowers there, I'm fine, you guys go."

"Little Jin, you're okay, right?" Yilier pulled Mendun's hand and looked at Huangxuan Jin worriedly.

"What can I do? I've been living well for so many years." Huang Xuanjin smiled and said with the corners of his mouth twitching.

He took the carnation in Yilier's hand, "Why send this, you can't eat it. It's better to come here with a fruit basket."

"Xiao Jin, are you really alright?" Yilier still looked at Huangxuan Jin as if worried.

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine." Huang Xuanjin said.

Huang Xuanjin put the bunch of carnations on the window sill, and suddenly remembered that Wispel had gone to buy fruit, and it seemed that it would be time to come back.

He suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The consul of the enemy country suddenly appeared at his place, no matter what, he couldn't justify it!

No matter how you say it, you can't explain it!

No, no, no, these two people must be taken away before Vehipel comes back!

Huang Xuanjin turned around, "I have something to do later, and your things have been delivered, so I won't deliver them."

"Ah, let's wait for the rain to stop before we go." Montuel said unceremoniously, and then directly pulled Yilier to sit on the sofa, picked up the orange that Huangxuanjin bought yesterday from the fruit plate, peeled it and gave it to Yili I handed it over.

"rain?"

"Yeah, it just started to rain. The rain in Corinth is like this. Who knows when it will rain, but it probably will stop soon." Montuel took another orange, peeled it, and threw it into his mouth one by one.

Huang Xuanjin looked out the window subconsciously, the drizzle from Corinth fell on the bluestone road, and the trousers of passers-by were wet with muddy water.

Menton leaned back on the sofa, and then picked up a book next to him, "Huangxuan Jin, you still read this, do you understand?" He frowned and looked at the seemingly esoteric book .

Huang Xuanjin was not thinking about it here, he was only thinking about what to do when Vehipel came back suddenly, so he hummed casually.

The rain in Collins was inaccurate, and it didn't look like it would end up falling endlessly. The leader and Yilier had nothing urgent to do, and they had no intention of leaving while peeling oranges and reading books.

Huang Xuanjin looked at the two of them and frowned, "Captain, Yilier, look, it's getting so late."

"It's okay, it's okay. My brother is the only one in my family, so I won't be so strict with me." The team leader shook his head.

"That...that's better to go back earlier." Huang Xuanjin said with a frown.

"Xiao Jin." The group leader raised his head, and suddenly smiled treacherously, "You...will someone come here soon?"

"No, no, no, no!" Huang Xuanjin quickly waved his hands.

"If you look at it like this, there is something wrong. Tell me, which girl is it?" The leader raised his eyebrows, "Isn't she pretty?"

"No!" Huang Xuanjin quickly denied.

"I can't leave now."

"All right, all right, just stay here." Huang Xuanjin said helplessly, but his eyes were looking out of the window where it was raining non-stop.

"Little Jin, have you ever been to the old palace?" Yilier asked suddenly.

"Well, I've been there once or twice, what's the matter?"

"I've heard that it seems to be haunted. Since the Corinthian fire 30 years ago, the old palace has been abandoned and no one lives in it. But some people say that there are often ghosts there."

"Really? I really don't know about that." Huang Xuanjin said absently.

He raised his head and looked at his watch. The fruit vendor on Queen's Road was not too far away. It stands to reason that Wisipel should have returned early.

But he still...

Huang Xuanjin leaned against the window with his arms folded and looked at the rain outside, not knowing whether to be grateful or worried.
